Long journey indeed. I like how communities participate their freetime for people. Mods and such is nice to see, especially to make certain aspect of a game accessible to less knowledgables so everyone can enjoy it to the fullest of its potential. Looking forward to see where this is taken too. Thanks for taking the time to answer

for whatever, my Dedicated server is still not saving the saved files in the server folder, just my personal one. I have stopped the server, moved them back to the server folder, started it back up and it loads the last saved files (as it should), but then starts saving back in my personal folder.

#

there is nothing really on the wiki about that

slim spoke Nov 29, 2021, 3:28 PM

#

it keeps the server stuff in localappdata where its safe during reinstalls and its always in the same spot for people

summer ravine Nov 29, 2021, 3:29 PM

#

i get that, but I have 2 folders, Server (which is where the saved should be) and some folder with I'm guessing is my unique number to me. Server folder is empty

which from the wiki that is where it should be, but its not on my machine

Has anyone else had a problem with belts not attaching to inputs/outputs correctly on the dedicated server? While I'm doing some builds I've found that a bunch of my belts look like they are attached to a splitter or lift, but no items will move to/from the belt. If I hover over the belt, the ghost outline appears to be correctly attached (since update 5's soft clearance sometimes I've attached belts through a splitter to the wrong side). Usually the fix is deleting/rebuilding. I'm maxing out the CPU on my server so I'm not sure if it's that issue or if it's a generally known issue.

#

my server is sitting idle right now with nobody in it using 6GB

gentle thorn Nov 29, 2021, 4:34 PM

#

It probably doesn't need 6gb. If you look at the logs it's loading a bunch of unreal components for client-side rendering. I assume future versions will trim it down a bit, but optimizing that will likely come later as there are plenty of bugs to squash first.

slim spoke Nov 29, 2021, 4:34 PM

versed merlin Nov 29, 2021, 4:40 PM

When the server runs out of usable RAM memory, it wries daa to disk (in the "Swap" ) and then clears that memory so it can work with something new. Then it clears that out and "swaps" back in the stuff it wrote to disk

It's likely that Nitrado moved from the Experimental server to the EA serer version. I'd suggest that you doing the same with your game client.

Once the dedicated servers went to EA, many of the hosts moved over as well, and left Experimental

'sleep mode' is a misnomer: computers do not use that time to dream or defrag. They do in point of fact not use that time; that's rather the point.

I am curious what type of 'tampering' you were contemplating that might make anything run during sleep mode

granite basalt Nov 29, 2021, 6:03 PM

#

You can choose what a device is doing in sleep mode in certain cases. For exemple some will leave the internet port open and download updates or let a HDD run to be able to stream

#

I not not contemplating any changes. Because I am not aware of the specifics. Hence the question

granite basalt Nov 29, 2021, 6:04 PM

#

slim spoke u would know if u looked up what it is

Is it hard to say ''yes'' or ''no'' if you happen to know? Its shorter than saying ''google it''

quick mist Nov 29, 2021, 6:04 PM

#

if by 'sleep mode' you mean 'well the monitor is off due to power saving settings', then yes, programs (including the Dedicated Server) still run. If you meant what it normally means (to wit: the computer is in a suspended state) then it, like any other program, is not running at that time.

alpine dawn Nov 29, 2021, 9:29 PM

@shut cobalt you have a version mismatch?

shut cobalt Nov 29, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

yes

quick mist Nov 29, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

what are the mismatching versions?

shut cobalt Nov 29, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

quick mist Nov 29, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

your game is Experimental; your server is Early Access

alpine dawn Nov 29, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

you need to run early access

quick mist Nov 29, 2021, 9:30 PM

#

switch one or the other

#

if you want the server to be Experimental, directions for that are on the Wiki

shut cobalt Nov 29, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

it is already running Exp but it wont update at all

alpine dawn Nov 29, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

I would suggest you keep the server on early access

quick mist Nov 29, 2021, 9:31 PM

#

if you want the client to be Early Access, Epic has a separate client for that, and in Steam you drill into Properties -> Betas

#

The server version shown above is absolutely not the experimental version

shut cobalt Nov 29, 2021, 9:32 PM

#

But thats dosn´t make sence becures the server have been running exp all the time and im playing on EXP to and i have been working all the time until today

alpine dawn Nov 29, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

yeah they merged for one release

quick mist Nov 29, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

When update 5 went into Early Access, servers when upadting by default also rolled into Early Access

alpine dawn Nov 29, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

and if you didnt explicitly tell it to stay on experimental it will go to EA

quick mist Nov 29, 2021, 9:33 PM

#

see the Wiki if you want directions to put your server back onto Experimental

alpine dawn Nov 29, 2021, 9:35 PM

#

anyway your server is running early access branch and your client is on experimental you can either load the early access client or upgrade the server to experimental

#

thats all there is to it

shut cobalt Nov 29, 2021, 9:35 PM

#

Oka and how do i upgrade to EXP becurse i have tried the flags but didn´t work

alpine dawn Nov 29, 2021, 9:36 PM

quick mist Nov 29, 2021, 9:36 PM

#

and when you say "doesn't work" be specific

shut cobalt Nov 29, 2021, 9:37 PM

#

So when i use the flag that Greg sends and i start my server it will not Update to the new version at all

quick mist Nov 29, 2021, 9:37 PM

#

Please show the exact invocation of SteamCMD you are using, and its results.
Please also show how precisely you are starting the server.

shut cobalt Nov 29, 2021, 9:40 PM

#

Oka so i use the steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 validate +quit as state in the DOCS for servers then i also use the Pterodactyl Software for running it then i add the flags that Greg says and i put the update to 1 in the panel and start the server i then wait for the server to starte up then i go and starte the game and try to join the server but i can´t join becurse of the mismatch of version

quick mist Nov 29, 2021, 9:40 PM

#

okay

#

you are not in fact following the directions given on the Wiki to update the server to Experimental

#

#

if you were to do so you would find the server properly updating to Experimental.

alpine dawn Nov 29, 2021, 9:41 PM

#

steamcmd +force_install_dir ~/SatisfactoryDedicatedServer +login anonymous +app_update 1690800 -beta experimental validate +quit

quick mist Nov 29, 2021, 10:11 PM

yes; the game is mainly single-threaded, so moving all the graphical rendering into its own separate threadspace (the client) and all the maths to another (the server) can potentially improve aggregate performance

The current state of the Experimental server is such that it ~~will~~ can go catatonic with more than one player on it eventually. It doesn't crash; it just stops sending/responding to anything other than Message Zero on the Query port

That is probably true. One of the players on our server, this is his first playthrough, and watching him struggle bus for the past couple weeks. First learning how to do manifolds and BUS, with belts that disappear and reappear randomly. Then learn trucks while they refuse to refuel themselves or randomly idle until dead.

quick mist Nov 29, 2021, 11:43 PM

#

my point is that the files you're talking about are local files for your game client and in no wise could have any direct effect on a server whatsoever

by punching in the server's IP address into the Server Manager into your game client.

your game client is the Experimental version; you are connecting to an Early Access server

use an Early Access client.

correct, CGNAT doesn't fly unfortunately

alpine dawn Nov 30, 2021, 2:35 AM

#

@languid quailsometimes ISPs that do CGNAT do give you a public IPv6 address which would work but unfortunately IPv6 adoption is still pretty low so it would likely severely limit the number of people you could play with. Best bet if you want your own server would be to get a cheap Linux VPS somewhere and host it there.

Get a cheap AF Linux box with dedicated ip and run a tunnel to it.

In this section of the dedicated servers wiki maybe Im just reading it wrong but there should be something in steam separate from the game to download? Or is it within the game client where I find dedicated servers.

alpine dawn Nov 30, 2021, 2:59 AM

I think the dedicated server only shows up in steam client if you own the game via steam...otherwise you just use steamcmd

which I recommend you use steamcmd either way as its what most people here know

languid quail how do I check if I properly forwarded my ports

have you tried joining your server?

languid quail Nov 30, 2021, 9:13 AM

#

via localhost yes, via public ip not really

Mobile hotspot for your pc is a good way to test

sweet shale Hej Guys, I need some help. I´ve got the Dedicated Server up and running in the ...

So I searched a little bit more but i´m even more clueless then before...
I got an Minecraft Server on the same machine running and port forwarded the same way as the Dedicated Server Ports (Yes all 3).
Since I´ve got a own domain I added the DNS entry´s for port 15777 and the minecraft port the same way.

I´ve got no problem connecting to the minecraft Server over the domain.
The Server Manager in Satisfactory on the other hand acknowledges the domain name as valid but I get "Server Name Pending / Not Authenticated" as message.

These files will only generate when the server has shutdown gracefully.

Go to your game, and select your server in Server Manager, go to the Console tab and type in quit, the files should be generated.

How can I solve these?

These are warnings you can ignore.

Hey @feral dawn thank you! I will try that out :)

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:46 AM

#

🙂

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:46 AM

#

So server is open rn?

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:46 AM

#

usually yes, add it to your server manager and configure it

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:46 AM

#

Wow thats easy

#

And how do I configure it?

#

Or is in the wiki

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:47 AM

#

hm it kinda isnt there actually

#

it's pretty simple, just add the IP/Port to the server manager

#

and it will, if configured correctly ask you for a server name, and password

#

then u create a level, or upload a save and hit Join 🙂

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:49 AM

#

feral dawn it's pretty simple, just add the IP/Port to the server manager

IP6 or 4?

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:49 AM

#

either

#

v4 is probs easier to type 😛

#

unless ur one of these guys who has like ??::dead:beef:cafe::1 as their ipv6 😛 lol

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:50 AM

#

Rn it says its offline

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:50 AM

#

hosting it locally, 3rd party VPS?

#

dedicated server?

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:50 AM

#

Dedicated server

#

Yes

#

I want to host it locally

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:51 AM

#

have u opened the ports, if needed?

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:51 AM

#

And how do I do that

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:51 AM

#

okay so let me just check here

#

perhaps we have our wires crossed here

#

When i say "Dedicated Server", i mean are you renting a dedicated server from someplace.

#

actual hardware

#

or are you hosting it from home.

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:53 AM

#

feral dawn or are you hosting it from home.

I want a server that my friends can join when I am not online

#

I want it free so I suppose it will be local

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:53 AM

#

okay so you're going to keep your gaming rig, or whatever else online all of the time, at home yes?

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:53 AM

#

Yeah I can do that

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:53 AM

#

right cool

#

so is the server you're currently trying to connect to on the same PC as your game?

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:54 AM

#

Yes

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:54 AM

#

alright coolies

#

and you tried to connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1?

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:54 AM

#

Where do I write that

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:54 AM

#

in the server manager

#

Address box

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:55 AM

#

Ooooooh

#

That makes a lotta sense

languid quail Nov 30, 2021, 9:55 AM

#

does this mean my ports are open and configured correctly?

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:55 AM

#

Ok ok good

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:55 AM

#

languid quail does this mean my ports are open and configured correctly?

what cmd are u running here?

languid quail Nov 30, 2021, 9:56 AM

#

Get-NetUDPEndpoint

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:56 AM

#

So one more thing: does the pc needs to be good for a server?

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:56 AM

#

stable notch Ok ok good

Your friends however, will have a hard time joining your server, if you do not port forward on your router

#

which you will need admin access to your router in order to do

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 9:56 AM

#

I assume I have it

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:56 AM

#

languid quail Get-NetUDPEndpoint

This command shows what ports are in use on the machine, not that they are forwarded.

#

or firewalled correctly.

languid quail Nov 30, 2021, 9:58 AM

#

ok well atleast it's using the right ports

rose bay Nov 30, 2021, 9:59 AM

#

Is there a way to change admin password (for Satisfactory server authentication) via Linux CLI? I forgot this password for accessing the server settings and console via satisfactory

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 9:59 AM

#

you cant change it if you have forgotten it

#

you can however wipe the server settings, and reclaim it

#

thus, setting a password again...

#

~/.conig/Epic/FactoryGame/Saved/SaveGames (i think)

#

delete the ServerSettings file, and restart the server

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 10:02 AM

#

Ok so after all that

#

I am done?

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 10:02 AM

#

You have done the port forwarding on your router?

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 10:03 AM

#

#

Well somethings wrong

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 10:04 AM

#

try 127.0.0.1

#

just incase v6 is being daft

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 10:04 AM

#

I tried it

#

Servers online rn

feral dawn Nov 30, 2021, 10:04 AM

#

are you on Early Access or Experimental?

stable notch Nov 30, 2021, 10:05 AM

#

Ok dne

#

ITS DONE

#

It isnt done smh

languid quail Nov 30, 2021, 10:21 AM
